This Government once vowed to be “the most nature-positive [we have] ever had”.

Months of blaming wildlife and stripping back protections have already made a mockery of that promise.

And if the rumoured cuts to BNG go ahead, it will deal yet another devastating blow to nature.

Birding break today due to snowfall. Sharing a Marsh Tit I photographed with my DSLR a while back—still looks pretty sharp if I say so myself 😎🪶
クオリティ的にはまだまだイケてると思うのですが、シャッター回数が気になってきまして…とミラーレス購入の言い訳を付け加えてみる😅そしてほんのり #ケツ曜日 🤣

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdsOnTwigs, any bird on a thin branch. How about a 'stick' of Bohemian Waxwings (Bombycilla garrulus). #Birds 🪶
